| Summary | 0002456: New feature using bans | ||||
| Description | Is it possible to add # mark also in unrealircd so that it means one number as usually? Now the unreal only understand's * as anything and ? mark as any character..But the character is not so usefully anymore than earlier..Now we need more choices to fight back against the flooders... | ||||

I'm not so sure I like this idea. It will cause a great deal of confusion for clients. |

I second that, IMO things should be either the classical wildcard match form (so * and ?) or regex, not some kind of other form "in-between". Also, when you say bans a lot of people assume you are talking about channel bans (because server bans are usually referenced to as *lines), so what are you refering to? If refering to *lines or ban ... blocks in the conf, then there are some requests in the bugtracker for regex support on that. But I suggest using spamfilter target u, very powerful and most likely what you need (and even more powerful than a classical *line if you use a non-kill target).. '/spamfilter add u kill - stupid_bot Bot\d!.+' etc. |

I wouldn't mind seeing something like this. (In fact, I think IRCnet already has it, but I dunno.) The only question would be then how much longer until wildcard formats start looking like VB's Like operator and less like plain ol' DOS wildcards :) . And as far as clients go, I don't really forsee too much of a problem. The only thing I can think of is if you're in mIRC and want to list all users matching AAZ#### you won't get any matches, etc... |

[quote]And as far as clients go, I don't really forsee too much of a problem. The only thing I can think of is if you're in mIRC and want to list all users matching AAZ#### you won't get any matches, etc...[/quote] mIRC != all clients. That seems to be the biggest problem when ever I refer to client issues! Just as one example, eggdrop. I set a ban on a###!*@*. I have the option for non-persistent (whatever it is called) bans so that the +b is only set when it is needed. Now, a user a123 joins, however he doesn't get banned. Why? Eggdrop doesn't recognize that he matches a###!*@* and therefore allows him in. Another issue is with services. "Unban Me" commands will be broken, as will akick lists and other things. It will cause more harm than good in my mind. |

Right, but the only reason I didn't mention eggdrop is because it looks like IRCnet definately has # in bans/etc, so stuff like eggdrop is going to have to support it eventually anyway. (Of course, IRCnet seems to like just doing it's own thing but... :P ) |
|
|
Why? IRCNet is not the be-all and end-all for IRC, remember. They seem to enjoy breaking things, and making life rather hard (/squery, anyone?) |
|
|
No No No... It will confuse most of the people and many scripts will not work. |
|
|
no plans for this, sorry. |
